Why UberPOOL sucks for drivers
A lot of drivers are complaining about UberPOOL.
The most consistent complaints are:
- It does not make financial sense
- You have more work, but are making less money
- Your ratings go down because of multiple passengers
- The trip is not efficient – takes customers in the opposite direction
- Takes on more liability with UberPOOL – multiple passengers
- More issues to deal with
- Customers are taking advantage of the drivers
- UberPOOL’s pay structure is questionable
- You get stuck in UberPOOL
- UberPOOL takeup too much time when there is traffic
How should drivers handle this?
Don’t accept UberPOOLrequests. It’s that simple. Only accept UberX requests. UberX is more profitable than UberPOOL and you only have to deal with one passenger.
When is it worth accepting an UberPOOL request?
It is worth accepting UberPOOL requests when it is surging. The surging price will make up for the price decrease. You might even get lucky and get a high surge price and you will make way more than a non-surging UberX ride.
Always be sure to look at what type of ride is requested, the rating of the passenger, and what the surge price is.
Another reason you should accept UberPOOL is when Uber offers a Power Driver Bonus. For example, give 30 trips over the weekend and receive an extra $125. Uber pool will help you reach your 30 trips a lot faster than taking all UberX trips.
